Announcement: Howto monitor your sme7 general performance us

- Ian Wells, very active contribs member (Thanks Ian!), has done a lot on lm_sensors see hereThis will tell you how to find and activate the sensors in your PC as used by collected. Note: SME7 does include a working version of lm_sensors - a new rpm install should not be needed ...

I have followed this lm_sensors stuff. In sme7 lm_sensors is installed. But it does not seem to have all kinds of via modules.Can anynbody else check if their sme7 has lm_sensor modules? I cannot find vt1211 nor vt8235. I have a via -board (via pd) and should copy a sensor module. But I do not know where to copy it from .

wget ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/CentOS/4.2/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/lm_sensors-devel-2.8.7-2.i386.rpmrpm -Uvh lm_sensors-devel-2.8*(this should include the via sensors you listed). Then follow "wellsi" ...

morpheux,Yes I did have hddtemp rrd output - and it will be displayed with the new (!) collection.cgi.Reread what I said above ... you do need to copy the new collection.cgi coming with collectd 3.2.x also.BUT: the data displayed is bad ... some problems with hddtemp.c (?!)BTW: The data ready for display is located in /var/lib/collectd/ !

wget ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/CentOS/4.2/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/lm_sensors-devel-2.8.7-2.i386.rpmrpm -Uvh lm_sensors-devel-2.8*(this should include the via sensors you listed). Then follow "wellsi" ...

Oops ... Seems like a problem of the centos/SME7 kernel ...(since that lm_sensors version DOES support the chip)

Quote from: "- markus.dolic.com -"

...of course the latest » lm_sensors version didn’t just work out-of-the-box: sensors-detect found a VT1211 Super IO Sensors chip which needs the » vt1211 module (among some i2c things). as vt1211 is not part of the kernel yet, it needs to be built as an external module. There’s a kernel patch file on the aforementioned vt1211 page, but i copied vt1211.c and changed the corresponding files manually because the patch assumed the kernel source to be in some other directory than /usr/src/linux (just 2 files anyway).

After setting CONFIG_SENSORS_VT1211=m in .config and running make -C /usr/src/linux M=pwd modules followed by modules_install in the drivers/i2c/chips directory, loading the module (insmod /path/to/vt1211.ko) surprisingly worked without any problems and the sensors program showed a bunch of values (kernel version 2.6.11.6, by the way).

Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /etc/e-smith/web/panels/manager/cgi-bin/sme6admin line 182.

ii) collectd is a very fast compiled c programm - 10 measurements/second in all the graph's as shown above. It still needs a bunch of polishing but it does measure more already .-) and it's just a couple of weeks old!

But I do admit that I did not use sme6admin in 6.x (used sysmon) and I might be quite willing to give it another try ... latest when it's called SME7admin
